When the guests saw the Wilton Academy students emerge from the portal, a wave of confusion rippled through the crowd.
The time since the event had begun was relatively short, far too short for anyone to believe they had completed the task. A single thought began spreading among the observers like wildfire:
Did they just enter and immediately search for the exit portal?
That couldn't be right.
Everyone knew that the entrance and the exit were placed in completely different locations. The event's nature had been carefully explained, and the Central Academy had issued specific instructions to every participating school about where the exit portal would be located.
This event was timed.
Only the powerstones submitted before the official end of the event would be counted toward the final score.
